Barolo

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Taste of Italy on the Dakar Coastline

Barolo by Noliane sits within the Palm Luxury Boutique Hotel in the Almadies district of Dakar, one of Senegal's most sought-after addresses along the Atlantic shore. The restaurant's name nods to the great red wine of Piedmont, signaling from the outset a serious commitment to Italian tradition in an unexpected corner of West Africa.

Gambero Rosso Recognition

In 2020, Gambero Rosso — Italy's most authoritative food and wine guide — awarded Barolo 2 Forks, a distinction that places it among a very select group of Italian restaurants operating outside Italy. That recognition speaks to a standard of cooking and hospitality that goes well beyond the expatriate dining circuit, drawing food-conscious travelers and Dakar residents alike.

Italian Dining in a Boutique Setting

The Palm Luxury Boutique Hotel provides an intimate backdrop, and Barolo carries that same sense of considered refinement into its dining room. The combination of a luxury hotel setting with a Gambero Rosso-endorsed Italian kitchen makes this one of the most distinctive restaurant experiences available in Dakar — for those who know where to look.
